Such Is Man's Nature, That He Is Very Inactive And Lazy Unless He Is Influenced By Some Affection, Either Love Or Hatred, Desire, Hope, Fear, Or Some Other. These Affections We See To Be The Springs That Set Men Agoing, In All The Affairs Of Life, And Engage Them In All Their Pursuits: These Are The Things That Put Men Forward, And Carry Them Along.
